Community Health Corps
 
 
 
American YouthWorks (AYW) is a national leader, combining workforce development training with affordable housing, IT, health care & education. Our YouthBuild Program works with unemployed youth who are not in school, ages 16-24, to complete their GED or HSD, combined with hands-on job training and personal development. Through the Community Health Corps (CHC), AmeriCorps members will serve as Community Health Workers (CHWs) within education-based public health settings across the Austin area. Members serve full-time (1700 hours) and receive a 120-hour CHW training course, if not already certified. Members play a key role in expanding access to health resources for under-resourced communities, facilitating health education workshops, conducting local outreach, and supporting public health programming that addresses social determinants of health. Members will work closely with program staff and partner agencies to connect individuals and families with services that improve quality of life, such as food access, housing assistance, and health care navigation. In some cases, members may also serve in YouthBuild classrooms to support health-focused curriculum and peer learning opportunities. Strong communication and leadership skills are important, as members will support and guide participants from diverse backgrounds. AmeriCorps members receive a $2,400/month stipend, health benefits, professional training, and an education award upon completion. To learn more, visit www.ayw.org.
